Chapter 53

53. Insecurity

YILEYNA

I awoke with a start, jolting upright in bed. I scanned the room frantically.

My heart was pounding, and once again, the nightmare of the night my parents were killed was replaying in my mind. I ran my trembling hand through my hair, closing my eyes as the emotions that I tried to control hit me full force.
